Footage from the Warsaw Ghetto- ca. 1942/43 [Full HD]

The Warsaw Ghetto, officially called “Jewish Residential District in Warsaw” was the largest Ghetto created by the Nazis in occupied Poland during WWII. Established in November 1940, Jews from Warsaw, but also other Polish regions, occupied European countries and Germany were deported there, and from the Warsaw Ghetto, deported further to concentration camps. The Warsaw Ghetto was located in the western district of Wola and had a size of 3,1 km². At its height, more than 460,000 Jews lived there, a massive overcrowding. The Nazis intentionally didn’t provide enough food and medicine, leading to starvation and the outbreak of diseases, and people dying on the streets was a common sight. The Nazis used these conditions for their own propaganda, by showing that the Jews were allegedly a filthy people that wouldn’t adhere to hygiene standards. Around 92,000 people died inside the Ghetto, and hundreds of thousands were deported to concentration camps, the majority to Treblinka (roughly 265,000). The Ghetto was destroyed after the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising in April/May 1943. The Warsaw Ghetto is one of the most infamous symbols of Nazi terror against Jews, and one of the most inhumane crimes of the Nazi regime, as the Nazis intentionally overcrowded the Ghetto to let thousands of people suffer and die from hunger, exhaustion and diseases. The following is footage taken from inside the Ghetto, most likely taken in 1942/43, showing scenes of everyday life in the Ghetto, but also scenes of the terrible conditions in the Ghetto, like a dead man lying on the street. It also shows scenes of the Ghetto after its being destroyed in 1943. Since it is silent footage, there are no subtitles and no sound.
